@sammo:

Epcor is at the very north edge of downtown, and the camera is pointed roughly northwest (wco clearly has an office in the CN tower). If you turned SW to S you would see the downtown towers.

thanx bulliver.
it's the smaller strip-unit type buildings on the street adjacent with the 'grande facade' gables that remind me of suburban box architorture -walmart, rona, etc.
please keep the updates of Epcor coming!

btw, i just love that huge Macaonala's Consolodated signage in the background! great size, colour, font.
is that painted on the brick or on sheet?(vintage or faux?) how old?

1913, original, painted on brick... now affordable housing.

Did you know Epcor is going to become Edmonton's second tallest building? Have a look! --> http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?cityID=5

Only because of the 'cheater spire' and large mech'. Otherwise from the main roof, 8 other buildings in the city are as tall or taller. There'll be almost no separation in heights. The one thing that it does have over that group is its overall size. It'll be one of the 2 or 3 biggest buildings in the city.
